Salutations and welcome back.
I had intended to post this in June, but life and a hurricane can do lot to a mindscape.
In other news, I heard the announcement about VizMedia becoming RWBY's new home. We'll have to see what will the future holds, hopefully in a good way.
Also, wishing a Happy Birthday to Yang Xiao Long and a Belated Happy Birthday to Nora Valkyrie.
Now, let's pick up to where we left off from last time.
I do not own RWBY.
[Weiss POV]
The first thing that wakes her up is a bright light that is glaring at her despite her eyes closed shut, a remainder that it is morning.
When she finds herself resting on her desk, Weiss realized that she must have fallen asleep while studying, which is something that has been happening lately.
In the middle of lifting her head off her desk and moving her hand to cover her mouth from yawning, her body froze as she noticed something at the corner of the eye. She was not alone.
Laying on the opposite side of her desk was a small human-like child on its back, soft noises coming from its slumber.
Unconsciously, she tries to quickly back away from the desk, inadvertently dragging the wooden chair she was sitting on across the hard floor, making a loud screech.
Ah? the child made a sound as its eyes fluttered, waking up from the sudden noise.
When the child looked up and see Weiss staring back at them, a few seconds passed before the child reacted.
WAHHHHHHHH!
AHHH!
Weiss let out an equally loud scream before scrambling to her bed, reaching underneath, and taking out on long case.
Opening the case, she takes out a long sword with thin blade.
Meanwhile, the child hid their body behind a stack of papers on the desk.
Who are you?! Weiss said in a loud, but slightly trembling voice as she pointed the tip of the sword at the child on the table.
Wow! Is that a sword?! The child said, their head poking out with both fear and excitement in its eyes, which caught the white-haired girl offguard.
….It's a rapier. Wait.. You can talk? Weiss said before shaking her head. More importantly, what are you? And how did you get into my room?
M-My name is Ruby and I am not a bad person, Ruby said in a nervous state while trying to explain. And I came into your room through your window.
Saying you're a not bad person doesn't make it true, Weiss said, her eyebrows furrowed.
But it is true, Ruby said, who seemed offended and by now out from their hiding place. I wouldn't have helped out if I wasn't a good person.
W-What are you talking about? Weiss said.
After calming down a bit, Weiss looks at the intruder more closely.
The child was wearing some sort of red cloak. Her hair was black with red tips and her eyes was silver that seem to glow like the moon.
But what stood out the most beside the size of the intruder was the red, translucent wings on the child's back.
Seeing that the stranger was not threatening by her standards, she lowered her rapier.
A-Anyway, Ruby said. You really can see me?
Yes, I can, Weiss said,quietly placing the rapier on her bed and thinking before speaking again. I am assuming that it is a big deal that people can see you?
Well, normally the humans around here haven't see me so far, Ruby said before realizing something. Oh, No. This is bad.
That I can see you? Weiss said, finding the change in tone from the intruder worrying, which makes sense based on what she had heard just now.
Yes, you can't let anyone know that you saw me, Ruby said with a worried look.
And why is that? Weiss said with a confused look.
It is a concerning issue and needs to be addressed as soon as possible, an older male voice said seemingly echoed in the room.
Who's there?! Weiss shouted.
I am more than happy to answer your questions if you would please open the door, Miss Schnee, the voice said, which was coming from the other side of the door that leads to her bedroom.
Taking the time to regain her composure, Weiss steadily, but warily walks to the door.
When Weiss opens the door, her eyes widened as she saw who the new visitor was.
It was an older man with white hair and green eyes framed by glasses. He was wearing a black turtleneck sweater with matching pants.
It was shocking enough that a person was able to enter her apartment without her knowing, but the biggest surprise was that she knew this person.
Headmaster Ozpin?!
Meanwhile in another part of town...
[Blake POV]
It's hot.
Blake stirred as she felt a warm sensation coursing through her body.
Opening her eyes, Blake saw that it was morning by the light coming from her window.
Feeling something damp on my forehead, she reached up and grabbed the thing off of her. It was a small towel that is normally found in her bathroom.
Where did this come from? I don't remember putting something like this on last night.
Thinking about the night before, Blake was not feeling very well and decided to turn in early.
Snnnn..snnnnn….
Her cat ears perked up when she hears what sounded like snoring that wasn't coming from her.
Finding the source of the sound, she tenses up when she found a small human with long blonde hair and yellow transparent wings sleeping on the nearby table.
This person looked like something that can be found in the books she read as a kid.
Seeing such a strange intruder in her very personal space, Blake did what any rational person would do in this kind of situation.
AHHHHHHHHH!
I'm up! the small person jolted up from the scream and saw Blake. Oh, you're awake.
As the small person slowly gets up and moves towards her, Blake's instincts kick in as she grab the closest thing to her, which was a pillow, and threw it at the stranger.
Don't come any closer! Blake said.
Woh, your aim is not half bad, the person said in a feminine voice as she quickly dodge the pillow with ease.
Seeing that the stranger was still coming her way, Blake started throwing more random things at the intruder.
Well, I'm glad you are feeling better, the small girl said, smiling despite being thrown items at her direction.
….What do you mean? Blake said, stopping from her frenzy from the unexpected answer.
Well, I saw that you were running a fever last night, so I tried to cool you down, the small girl said shyly, scratching the back of her neck.
So this was from…., Blake thought as she looked at the small towel she was holding her hand. You did that?
Yep, Yang said.
But, why? Blake asked.
Why, what? The person said, tilting her head.
Why would you help me? We didn't meet each other until now, Blake said, her cat ears drooped slightly.
…You looked like you were in pain and I just wanted to help. That's all, the person said with softened eyes and calm smile.
Seeing that the stranger seem friendly, Blake's body relaxes.
I see. Thank you. So, is there a name for my mysterious visitor? Blake said as she starts to pick up the objects that she threw at the person.
Oh, the name's Yang, Yang said who decided to help tidy up, which looked endearing when comparing her size to the objects. And what's your name?
It's Blake. So what are you? Blake said with a small smile.
About that, would it be ok if we keep this between us? Yang said, suddenly looking timid by her hands together in a begging motion.
Why? Blake said, stopping to look at Yang. Is there a problem?
Well, humans or faunus normally wouldn't be able to see us, Yang said. But it's not completely zero, and we're not supposed to reveal ourselves, accident or not.
And what's happens if you get find out? Blake said, sensing an ominous premonition.
Then, you would need to take responsibility of course, an unknown older female voice said from outside the bedroom door, making the two jump slightly.
What?! Blake said with a panicked tone.
Haa. I guess we got found out, Yang said with a tired sigh. And it's hasn't even a day yet.
The door to the room opens slowly, revealing a middle-aged woman with light blonde hair tied in a bun and green eyes behind a pair of glasses. She was wearing a white blouse and black skirt along with a purple and black cape.
I apologize for coming here unannounced, but this is a matter that we need to discuss about, the older woman said sternly.
Despite meeting a somewhat mystical creature like Yang, it didn't prepare Blake when meeting the sudden visitor even though she knew who the person was.
Professor Goodwitch?! Blake said.
[To be Continued]
The mystery thickens.
Who are these new visitors that are recognized by the four girls and what's going to happen?
A rather rushed chapter, but then again, trying to alternate between two different POVs in the same chapter is challenging.
In any case, stay tuned for the next chapter.
